- A disposable intraocular
lens injection device 100 in which an intraocular lens is preloaded in accordance with the present invention includes acylinder 110 and aplunger 160. - First, a
slide hole 112 is provided in thecylinder 110. Theslide hole 112 penetrates from one end to the other end of thecylinder 110. That is, thecylinder 110 has a hollow cylindrical shape with opened ends. Preferably, thecylinder 110 is made of a transparent material. - Moreover, a receiving
portion 120 in which an intraocular lens I is placed in an unfolded state is provided on the other end of thecylinder 110, and aninjection guide 150 is formed on the other end of thereceiving portion 120 to allow the intraocular lens I in thereceiving portion 120 to be provided to a patient in a rolled state. - The
receiving portion 120 includes areceiving base 122 in which the intraocular lens I is placed and a receivingcover 128 covering thereceiving base 122 in which the intraocular lens I has been placed. - The
receiving base 122 extends from the bottom of the other end of thecylinder 110 to the outside of the other end of thecylinder 110 in the longitudinal direction of thecylinder 100. Alower receiving groove 124 is formed to be depressed on an upper surface of thereceiving base 122. Thelower receiving groove 124 is formed in the longitudinal direction of thereceiving base 122 and connected to theslide hole 112. A pair ofguide rails 126 on which the intraocular lens I is placed in an unfolded state is provided on thelower receiving groove 124. Theguide rails 126 extend in the longitudinal direction of thereceiving base 122. Preferably, an optical portion O of the intraocular lens I is placed in the middle of theguide rails 126, and a leg portion L of the intraocular lens I integrally formed with the optical portion O is placed in each of both ends theguide rails 126. - One side of the
receiving cover 128 is rotatably connected to one side of thereceiving base 122. An upper receivinggroove 130 facing thelower receiving groove 124 is formed on thereceiving cover 128. The upper receivinggroove 130 is formed in the longitudinal direction of thereceiving cover 128 and connected to theslide hole 112, like thelower receiving groove 124. Meanwhile, thereceiving base 122 further includes alower connection bracket 132 extending from the other end of thereceiving base 122 to the outside, and thereceiving cover 128 further includes anupper connection bracket 134 extending from the other end of thereceiving cover 128 to the outside. Thelower connection bracket 132 includes aconnection groove 136, and theupper connection bracket 134 includes aconnection hook 138 inserted and connected to theconnection groove 136. That is, as theupper connection bracket 134 is connected to thelower connection bracket 132, the intraocular lens I is defined between thereceiving base 122 and thereceiving cover 128. - Preferably, the
receiving base 122 and the receivingcover 128 include alower supply hole 140 and anupper supply hole 142, respectively, through which a viscoelastic material is injected during the injection of the intraocular lens I. - Meanwhile, the
injection guide 150 includes afirst injection needle 152 integrally formed with the other end of thereceiving base 122 and asecond injection needle 156 integrally formed with the other end of thefirst injection needle 152. - The
first injection needle 152 includes a firstinjection guide hole 154 connected to thelower receiving groove 124 and theupper receiving groove 130, which face each other, and thesecond injection needle 156 includes a secondinjection guide hole 158 connected to the firstinjection guide hole 154. The firstinjection guide hole 154 is radially narrowed from the lower and upper receivinggrooves injection guide hole 158, and the secondinjection guide hole 158 is formed horizontally. -
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view showing a plunger shown inFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIGS. 1 and 3 , aplunger 160 includes apush rod 162 and aninjection rod 166 integrally formed with the other end of thepush rod 162. Thepush rod 162 and theinjection rod 166 are inserted into theslide hole 112 from the outside of the one end of thecylinder 110. An O-ring 164, which is in sliding contact with the inner circumference of theslide hole 112, is mounted on the outer circumference of thepush rod 162. Meanwhile, theinjection rod 166 is slidably inserted into the lower and upper receivinggrooves groove 168, into which an edge of the optical portion O of the intraocular lens I is inserted, is concavely formed on the other end of theinjection rod 166, thereby preventing the intraocular lens I from being turned over during the injection of the intraocular lens I. Moreover, aseating groove 170, on which the leg portion L of the intraocular lens I is placed, is formed to be depressed on theinjection rod 166 adjacent to the lockinggroove 168. - Next, the use of the disposable intraocular
lens injection device 100, in which an intraocular lens I is preloaded, having the above-described configuration will be briefly described. - The
injection device 100 according to the present invention is shipped from a factory in a state that the intraocular lens I is preloaded in the receivingportion 120 of thecylinder 110 and theplunger 160 is inserted into thecylinder 110. That is, in order to place the intraocular lens I on the receivingportion 120 in an unfolded state before the shipment, the intraocular lens I is first placed on the top of theguide rails 126 formed on thelower receiving groove 124 of the receivingbase 122 such that the optical portion O of the intraocular lens I is placed on the top of theguide rails 126 and the leg portions L of the intraocular lens I are placed on both ends of the guide rails 126. - In this state, when the
upper connection bracket 134 is rotated toward thelower connection bracket 132, the receivingcover 128 is put on the receivingbase 122 and, when theconnection hook 138 is connected to theconnection groove 136, the intraocular lens I is defined between thelower receiving groove 124 and theupper receiving groove 130. When the intraocular lens I is loaded in theinjection device 100 in the above-described manner, theplunger 160 is inserted into the one end of thecylinder 110, and the resultinginjection device 100 is packed and shipped. - Meanwhile, in order to inject the intraocular lens I into the eye of a cataract patient using the packed
injection device 100, the packedinjection device 100 is unpacked, and a viscoelastic material is injected through thelower supply hole 140 and theupper supply hole 142. Then, in a state that thesecond injection needle 156 is placed adjacent to the patient's eye, thepush rod 162 is pressed such that the other end of theinjection rod 166 and the lockinggroove 168 formed on the other end of theinjection rod 166 are inserted between thelower receiving groove 124 and theupper receiving groove 130 through theslide hole 112. As a result, the optical portion O of the intraocular lens I is inserted into the inside of the lockinggroove 168. Subsequently, when thepush rod 162 is further pressed, the other end of theinjection rod 166 guides the intraocular lens I toward the firstinjection guide hole 154. At this time, the intraocular lens I guided toward the firstinjection guide hole 154 is guided along the firstinjection guide hole 154 radially narrowed to be rolled up and then injected into the patient's eye through the secondinjection guide hole 158. Lastly, theinjection device 100 is discarded upon completion of the injection. - According to the disposable intraocular lens injection device of the present invention, in which an intraocular lens is preloaded in an unfolded state, it is possible to eliminate the difficulty of loading the intraocular lens in the injection device, and prevent bacteria infection and damage of the intraocular lens. Moreover, it is not necessary to be fully aware of the method of loading the intraocular lens in the injection device, and thus its use is simple and convenient.
- Further, it is possible to prevent the intraocular lens from being rotated and turned over during the injection of the intraocular lens and to make rapid progress with the use of the injection device in accordance with the present invention.
- It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to the above-described exemplary embodiments of the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention covers all such modifications provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
